Hello, all:
I am finally getting around to building the P112 Z180-based SBC from
Dave Brooks (I got one of his last unpopulated boards). It has two 100-pin
QFP chips (the Z180 and an SMC Super I/O chip), so, I bought the blade-like
SMD soldering iron tip for my iron.
So, here's the stupid question...how do I solder these things? Do I
hold the iron parallel or perpendicular to the package leads? The board is
pre-tinned, but I should I also tin the QFP leads?
Any help appreciated.
Rich
